The date was announced by producer and director Naoki Yoshida during today’s Letter from the Producer LIVE. Considering Final Fantasy XIV operates on a simultaneous schedule worldwide, we’re assuming this is a global release date.
A collector’s edition will also be available, which includes the in-game items Helm of Light, Baby Behemoth Minion, Coeurl Mount, Behemoth Barding, Wind-up Moogle, and Fat Chocobo Mount.
A beta will begin on February 22.

Hmmmm.... does it mean PS4 players can play for free for a month and a half? That's what it sounds like to me.
No cuz Beta is a new char on a new server (not sure about the new server)
YEah but i doubt the beta XIV char will carry over if that' what you mean
So I bought the pc cr edition... will I get the fat choco and wind up moogle or will I have to buy the ps4 ce?
If you bought ANY CE edition, you should be fine.
edit: removed
Looks great and dat remote play on Vita. Can't wait to upgrade some of the PS3 players in my house.
Keyboard and mouse support, that's hawt. Didn't know that until now. It'll take me some getting used to I'm sure since I'm so used to just controller from the PS3 but keyboard looks much easier to play with
Beta Details
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/...s-new-trailer/Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn launches for PS4 on April 14th, 2014. Many players have questions about the beta, as well as the PS3-to-PS4 transfer process for accounts. Folks were wondering who could participate in the beta, if they could use existing characters, if they needed an existing account, or could jump right in.
Well, luckily enough, today marks the reveal of a whole lot of answers you’ve been waiting for. And not just that — but also a trailer, fully recorded with PS4 in-game scenes.
Okay, let’s get started with some information.
Beta Info
• Phase 1: February 22nd to March 3rd.
• Phase 2: April 4th to April 7th.
• Japanese Standard Time assumed for all dates.
• The beta will be accessible for everyone with a PS4, and directly downloadable from PlayStation Store.
• There will be a character wipe after phase 1.
• Players who made their character in beta phase two will be able to bring this data to the retail version.
• PS3 and PC players of FFXIV will be able to transfer character data to the PS4 (please note that this is only necessary for the beta — in the retail version, all players will play on the same servers).
PS3 to PS4 transfer
The transfer service is scheduled to begin Friday, April 11th, 2014. Please be aware that after transferring to the PS4 you’ll be unable to play the PS3 version using your existing copy. Users who wish to play using both the PS3 and PS4 are required to purchase the PS4 version separately. Users who own multiple service accounts for the PS3 can transfer all accounts to the PS4. Users transferring their accounts will have access during the early access period, scheduled from April 11th to the 13th. Please note: to transfer your PS3 account, you must have logged into it from a PS3 at least once.
PS4 features
• Upgraded graphics on the PS4 in glorious 1080p (see trailer).
• PS Vita Remote Play — craft, gather, and play wherever you go.
• Share-support — stream your gameplay or share screenshots.
• Mouse & Keyboard Support — switching over from a PC? No problem!
• Touchpad-Support — the touchpad of Dualshock 4 is fully supported.
Did that whet your appetite?
Fun fact: to create the two-minute long trailer above, we recorded more than six hours of footage, creating over 800GB of videos at 1080p. I’m also in that video, visible at around 0:34. The first one to guess who I am will have the honor of being right!

I'm ready.
To play in bed.
And on the toilet.
Don't have a PS4 but I hope they do some interesting stuff with the PS4 controller touchpad.
I might buy one to use on PC if they make the same integration accessible on the PC client (I don't see why they wouldn't, but this is SE).
